Had to be done and in fact, contrary to what others have said, I would not be against a repeat.

The moment it stops is when Dai tells us directly that he is negotiating with new owners. If he plays silly buggers again, it's back to type.

The people I feel sorry for are the players and the manager although from what I've seen he is right behind why it has been done.

So that I hope Dai is aware is the state of play. Sell the club and show intent on selling the club and at this point it needs to be done publicly and keep the peace.

Carry on with this destroying of the football club and face more uncomfortable evenings.

His choice...

NathStPaul Hang on, 3 hours ago you didn't agree with it. Which is it?

How dare anyone change their mind on an unclear, complicated matter.

You either agree with it or you don't. The same implications for invading a pitch that you and Windermere were sobbing about are still in place.

So you've both changed your mind because you now know that there is overwhelming support of the pitch invasion? It's OK to admit it.

I don't think I've ever opposed it? I've found it hard to know what to think as the arguments on both sides are valid.

windermereROYAL I agree with it, but sincerely hope it isn`t repeated.
Would imagine if there are any sanctions we will know by next weekend.

Blackpool were slapped with a £50k fine when their fans got a game abandoned during their troubles with a warning that if repeated it would result in games being played behind closed doors.
Don`t really know how we would get the money to pay that, we haven`t got a pot to piss in.


Don`t know what part of this comment meant I didn`t support it tbf.

A big yes from me. I think this was the last throw of the dice to save the club. The EFL really have to find a way of getting rid of Dai or else I can only see the club ending up being liquidated.

Having seen it, I am supportive of the on-pitch protest but not pushing it to abandonment.

All footage shared is of the out pouring of love and pride toward our club and anger at what is happening. That would still have been shared regardless of the abandonment.

So whilst I will defend the right of those who remained until the end, I personally would have been happier with a lengthy disruption & the game continuing, as it would seem most who got on the pitch did but I respect others disagree.

Question now though, is where do the protests go next? Another abandonment? As that won't get the same level of interest.

Personally I'd like us to target the EFL now. Try and encourage them to intervene and remove Dai.

Abandonment was the only option to really get the EFLs attention. Now they have to do something.

Agree. Though they have already tried, protest outside there or outside Chinese Embassy may have impact, if done correctly.

They don't have the power. All they can do is expel the club.

It needs to be targeted at out politicians. They found a way to force out Abhramovic, and if things get worse at Everton you can guarantee they'll find a magic solution there too. We shouldn't be treated differently because we're "little old Reading".

Of course we should be bringing the EFL on board to help find a solution, as I think they would currently tell the government not to meddle.

Pretty much how I see it as well. Haven’t left any room for peaceful escalation for future action.

In agreement with it.

Just unsure as to how much it’ll achieve given Dai holds all the power.

Part of me worries that he’ll consider the protests as disrespect and even more reason to spite us, but, we can’t simply remain passive.

I was wondering if overnight camping on the pitch might work. Let the game play but then camp on there. Stream it to gain attention
